Famous quotes containing the word girl:

    A man is free to go up as high as he can reach up to; but I, with all my style and pep, can’t get a man my equal because a girl is always judged by her mother.
    Anzia Yezierska (c. 1881–1970)

    “My faith and troth I give back to thee,
    So may thy soul have rest.”
    —Unknown. The Brown Girl (l. 51–52)

    To look almost pretty, is an acquisition of higher delight to a girl who has been looking plain the first fifteen years of her life, than a beauty from her cradle can ever receive.
    Jane Austen (1775–1817)
